2.14 Photos/Cover art (Smashing Pumpkins)

Since some people wonder where all those pictures come from in all the
releases, here's a brief synopsis:

SD insert - random pictures found by the graphic artist, not related to
the band (same goes for Cherub Rock cover)
Today cover - D'Arcy's sisters
Pisces Iscariot cover (CD) - of continuous debate. Some say it's James,
Courtney Love said it's her with a cherry in her mouth, Billy said
it's his now-ex wife, Chris, although he may have been referring to
the necklace picture on the inside liner
Bullet with Butterfly Wings insert - from an advertisement in the 1800s
for some sort of youth potion called, "Brittle's Blood Bitters".
Zero insert - a Giorgio Armani model (NOT Yelena Yemchuk, the
photographer)
Thirty-Three - cover painting=Rasputin, insert=Lenin
Adore cover - Amy Wesson
Adore insert- the pictures on the inside of the CD liner were taken while
the band was on tour in Poland during the Mellon Collie tour, it is
assumed
Ava Adore cover - Amy Wesson also.
Perfect single covers - unknown (so far)
